The bombardment is towards the anode, not to the ceramic.
Actually what is seen is imho the electron flow

Why would the electrons bombard the ceramic? Ceramic is a 
near-perfect insulator and could not possibly attract electrons, 
unlike the heavily positive anode. A few random electrons, yes, but 
that glow appears to me to be much more substantial than that. I vote 
for the soft x-ray theory.
